This easy to (literally) whip up dessert emulates a maple creemee and shaved ice at the same time. Maple mascarpone mousse comes together in a silky, stable cream that’s airy yet rich in its flavor. Paired with a squeeze of maple syrup and a frozen peach, a spoonful of these peaches and cream tastes like the ultimate sweet treat.
The viral frozen shaved fruit trend picked up popularity on social media after Frankie Gaw (@littlefatboyfrankie) posted a bowl of shaved strawberries topped with condensed milk, crushed peanuts and black sesame seeds. The simplicity became a sensation.
Another simple sensation? Maple syrup! Though it’s composed of only one ingredient, maple provides a complex flavor profile. Rich, robust, sweet, caramel-y. A pour of maple amplifies desserts whether it’s being directly applied to scoops of ice cream or being worked into a whipped cream.
This recipe calls for both maple syrup and maple sugar. The latter is whisked into a fluffy peak of cream. And the syrup creates a liquid layer of sweetener for the mousse to float upon. We use our new PET Squeeze Bottle to precisely pour how much maple we want in the cup.
While we choose a frozen peach here, you may use any frozen fruit. Try this mousse with frozen mangoes, strawberries, and even cantaloupe! Repurpose the maple mascarpone mousse for summer cakes, plopped over crisps or to serve with fresh fruit. Enjoy!
